It is
normally accepted that, Islam recognized the private ownership of land
just like other items. Private ownership is an accepted institution in
Islam. No doubt this institution is well admitted in Holy Book, however,
it does not accept the private ownership of land. Arguments which are
given in this context from Qur’an & Hadith do not qualify any
standard of reasoning. The foremost gap in the arguments given in Holy
Book is that, Qur’an definitely accepts the ownership of houses, gardens
and agriculture production, but doesn’t the land on which they are
situated. It is wrongly assumed that, the land on which houses or
gardens are situated or from which cultivator attains production is also
in the possession of individual, it is the basic deception. Holy Book
has admitted the ownership of all those items which are the result of
human labor. Since land is not the result of human labor; hence its
private ownership is not recognized.
